Yoga at Evolution: Promoting Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace

Jennifer Abdelaty

Evolution has now launched weekly yoga sessions for employees, in order to help support and encourage staff to be aware of their health and wellbeing.

As we all know, physical activity is vital when it comes to prioritising your health, but many of us may struggle to make time for lengthy gym sessions, or fitness classes at times that don’t fit in with our work lives and family schedules. At Evolution, our employees come first, which is why we decided to launch free weekly yoga sessions for any staff who are interested in taking part, in order to promote health and wellbeing in the workplace.

The health benefits of yoga include:

Improved flexibility

Improved muscle strength and tone

Improved respiration, energy and vitality

Maintaining a balanced metabolism

Cardiovascular benefits (lower blood pressure)

Improved athletic performance

Protection from injury

Overall fitness

In addition to the physical benefits of yoga, the mental benefits include helping to manage stress; growing research demonstrates the importance of mental health and wellbeing in relation to our performance and effectiveness at work. This is one of the many reasons why Evolution is happy to offer employees the opportunity to do exercise, as well as relax the mind, during work hours.
